Protect Cute Hedgehogs in Time-Based Roguelike Clock Rogue, Striking Switch June 25

TOKYO, Japan — June 18, 2026 — Clock Rogue, the action roguelike featuring rhythmic combat mechanics and colorful hedgehogs from developer MONO ENTERTAINMENT and publisher Phoenixx Inc., launches onto Nintendo Switch on Thursday, June 25, 2026. Pre-orders are available on the Nintendo eShop at a 20% discount!

 

Join a germ busting crew known as the Hari Cells to defend a vibrant hedgehog from viruses invading its body. Hari Cells attacks are set to specific times on the clock.  Put time perception to the ultimate test in roguelike battles, to strike the perfect move as offensive and defensive abilities round the stopwatch. 

 

Revel in satisfaction when defeating a pesky pathogen, and choose from three new technique options to add to the clock. Activate utmost precision when targeting more mighty actions, as the heavier the hit, the shorter the window to land it. Contagion crushers can customize a repertoire of moves best suiting their senses of time and rhythm. 

 

“Clock Rogue is designed to test the player’s quick instincts and strategic senses,” said MONO, developer of Clock Rogue. “You’ll have to decide if you want to build a clock with hard-to-hit yet devastating attacks, or if you prefer a steady barrage of moderate moves. Following our success on Steam, we’re eager for Switch fans to experience the colorful and thrilling experience later this month.”

 

Clock Rogue is currently available on PC via Steam, with the Nintendo Switch version arriving on June 25 for $7.99 / €6.29 / ¥890 with English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), and Portuguese (Brazil) language support. 

 

Preorders for the Nintendo Switch are now open, with a 20% off pre-launch sale.
